    I don't follow your blog so I don't know your story, but just make sure you are developing coping strategies for your stress and your emotions (or whatever triggers your binging). Sheer willpower won't last and maybe it gave out on you this time?

Otherwise, just treat yourself extra especially kind, ask yourself what you need today, and move forward with patience.

Bumps happen. It's just part of the healing process.

    What were the triggers? What happened that you blew it? Think about this, blog about it or write it down.

That done, start over. Remember how sick you feel right now. Think about whatever triggered the binge, and figure out what you can do the next time these triggers happen. Make a list of strategies to prevent another binge.

Then, with those strategies in mind, go forth and beat your current record!!!! You can do this!!!!!

    You can do it...and when you look back after your first one, it will just be a teeny spot in the percentage of binge-free to binge days! Today is day 105 for me so I am very proud of your 214!!!

    Don't beat yourself up about it, it won't help. But wow, 214 days, that is AMAZING! Now start a new streak and get even more days piled up, and before you know it you will have beaten that old streak!

But if it was me, I would spend a little time thinking about what happened to make me blow it after such a long time. Something must have triggered it--and if you can figure it all out, you can plan for future events, so that you don't de-rail yourself over it.

Hang in there, you are obviously doing a LOT right, to have gotten that 214 days!!
